No wonder the Doggies didn't want to go near him.

Missed this one, saw it on the Channel 7 in the Melbourne rooms video the club released this morning.

The Herald Sun souvenir magazine available with last Saturday's paper has an excellent ground shot taken from behind the goals at Optus Stadium. What is striking is the scoreboard which shows that at the 25.17 minute mark of Q3 the scores were Melbourne 9.10.64 to Bulldogs 9.5.59.

That photo sums up for me the most extraordinary aspect of the game - that it was so close up until a minute before three quarter time.

When Clayton kicked that goal he pointed to every Dees supporter and said ‘We got this’.

It was the moment.

If you watch the replay in slow mo after the goal Tommy Sparrow is running in behind Clarry yelling ‘ffffuuuuuuuccccckkkkiiiing hhhhheeellllllllllll’.
Its amazing. 🤣

Yep, sums up how I felt watched that goal and Clary's celebration/body language afterwards.

Clarry, can be quite reserved and workman like in his celebrations at times, but on other occations he'll puff out his chest a bit and strut around brimming with confidence.

This was definitely a moment of strutting ...and for good reason, that burst of goals we put on the Bullies destroyed their confidence and spirit.

Nibbler's preparation is elite.

 

That ski goggle look from Nibbler was pure gold on so many levels.

Going hard and early on his part of his mad Monday getup obviously.

I recall the scene that followed this, when Max got up and postured to the players and umpires as if he'd been awarded a free kick for rough play, which never came.  I actually thought it was a powerful statement of how the MFC is always made the scape goat whenever the league wants to set the tone of acceptable physically and protecting the head etc, but rarely gets the same protection in return and how Max is perpetually alowed to be a punching bag for our opponents.

Interested to know what result did Daniels get from the MRO on this one and weather that graze to the forehead that Max had after this incident was there before it or as a result of the that incident.

Must’ve been Take Your Kid to Work Day last Saturday. 
I mean, I know as you get older footballers look younger and younger, but come on… he looks like he’s 10 years old. 

Yeah, who's kid is that Jake Bowey too?

Might have premiership potential one day those kids.

...or Jack Viney as the literal take your kid to work on GF day!!!

 

P.S. as a related asides, I loved that video of Jack Viney doing star fishes in the confetti.  Great imagery of a bloke in a totally blissful moment, living out a life long dream.

"So ... do you have any dreams, Jack? Life goals?"

"Yeah ... I wanna make snow angels in confetti on Optus Oval."

"You mean like after a grand final?"

"Doesn't have to be a grand final, but if that's what it takes, I'm prepared to win one."

"You know they don't play grand finals at Optus?"

"Damn, you're right ........... unless there was a global pandemic! Do you know how to book plane tickets to China?"

Same! He was totally lost in the moment. The little kid in him came to the fore. It warmed my heart no end to see him so happy.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
